I stayed for a few nights out of season (Apr/22) so it was almost empty and very peaceful. The stars were amazing. Very clean and well maintained Park. Excellent staff. True sense of community if you're looking for long term. A real gem in the desert!
I have thoroughly enjoyed my winters here! Good people, weather, nine hole/par 136 Flinstonesque putt-putt golf course, dog park, coyotes howling in the near distance, and sunrises/sunsets to die for--love this place.
I stayed at Coyote House East, which is a no frills boondocking sort of place. No electric hookups, no sewer hookups, but there is a dump station, and there is drinking water available at scattered taps throughout the site. They also have shower and laundry facilities. Everybody I met was very friendly.
Nothing much has changed in the 3 years since I've been here. The number 3 women's bathroom is still leaking but on the good side I didn't see any mold. One thing though the prices have doubled for day and week usage and if you are car/tent camping you can't do monthly and you can only stay 90 days.
Fantastic location. Very beautiful. The spaces are large and plentiful!
